No. 21's lead designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua is attempting to appeal to a youthful female market and is alluring them with hints of grunge and girly pieces. His 2013 collection played a fine balance between the two themes. Exquisite pieces include breathtaking peplum pencil skirts with frontal embellishments, check-laden pull-overs, shirts with fringed pocket accoutrements and darling dresses with leather panels. A surprising twist in the series was the high side slits on the lengthy skirts.
